My first memory of Dr. Dobson was around 1990 when our church played videos of his Family Teaching. I fell in love with his teaching style. From that time on, I read his books, watched videos, and listened to podcasts. His Biblical teaching literally molded our family. I really can't imagine or wouldn't want to imagine how our lives would have turned out. I thank my God every time that I think of Dr Dobson. I cried when I found out that he passed away. And then I thought of the reunion in heaven. May God comfort his family, co-workers and friends. What a void his presence leaves, but not his legacy... what a Father in the Faith. I pray that his teachings and the teaching of those he poured into will continue to build godly character. All my love and prayers.
PreviousI met Dr. Dobson on AM radio when I was a new, stay-at-home mother raising a daughter and a son in the l980s. It wasn't a popular thing to do. I made certain that we cleared the schedule so I could listen to Focus on the Family with Dr. James Dobson for 1/2 hour Monday through Friday. It shaped my foundation for parenting with a Biblical perspective. I still to this day at age 73, remember those moments, lessons, expressions, humor, foundational Truths as I engage with my grandchildren. The book that I remember most and have lent out is THE STRONG-WILLED CHILD. There isn't an adequate accolade that can match what Dr. Dobson gave to the American Family. I'm very sad that he has left this earth but I know exactly where he is and I will be able to say thank you in person in Heaven! May God bless his family and all that he created.
